Frozen Berries

Fresh berries are delicious and healthy, but they may be expensive and quickly deteriorate. Fortunately, frozen berries can be bought in larger quantities for less money and have a similar nutritional content to fresh berries.

Berries can be rapidly frozen after harvesting to extend their shelf life and keep their nutritional value. The USDA advises that frozen fruit, including berries, can be safely kept in the freezer for up to six months. Berry consumption has numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, and mental decline. As a result, they are used in yogurt, smoothies, oats, and other dishes all over the world. Berries that have been frozen are also the ideal topping for baked goods like pies, muffins, and cobblers.
